SNES/SFC

Ball Bullet Gun - Squad based tactics game about playing airsoft

Fire Emblem 4 - It's a mainline Nintendo release, but Japan-only. My favorite in the franchise.

Sega Genesis

Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon - It's a Sailor Moon beat-em-up. I was obsessed with the Power Rangers SNES game as a kid, so I enjoyed playing this as a ROM when I was older.

Snatcher - A Hideo Kojima game

PSX

Chocobo Racing - Kinda mid cart racer but Final Fantasy themed. I played this a lot back in the day.

Not played it but I came across a Japanese psx game Chocobo Stallion with racing and breeding apparently adapted from their horse derby games of that period

This is like the chocobo mini game in FF7. I know that horse racing games are pretty popular in Japan, so it's not too surprising.
